Yay for component Wii cable. Ordered it from the Nintendo online store and it showed up a week later. Not bad at all. Zelda looks a heck of a lot better.

- Cell phones dont cause cancer
- Wiimote as a mouse
- Zune selling?
- Yahoo management gone wild!
- Major lables ponder mp3

Lastly, water on Mars! They are almost sure now! Really!

    yeah, that shit is so fucking stupid. I wish Nintendo or someone would step in and make shit like that illegal, or tax the whole fucking shit out of people who do that. Ebay's not going to do shit about it, it's awesome business for them, but fuck... such fucking bastards.

      You want Nintendo to make it illegal? o_O Welcome to the free market son.
      
      I do wish Nintendo would try harder to limit them to 1 per customer, although people would still be dicks.

    the walmart here got "9" this morning. meanwhile the day ebfore, everyone had been told "there will be at least 15" I must have been 26th in line or something, but they gave out rainchecks to the first 24 people. The first 2 people in line were sold the 2 machines they were actually selling, with the other 7 machines for rainchecks from a previous morning such as this one. Pretty shitty.

      If the new systems are like the Xbox 1, it's the same hardware with a bios string set to 1 instead of 0
      
      (and that's damn well how it should be)

      so why not just use the inventory system to find out when another store is getting them in and either send in your gay lover or just go in and pay with cash to buy one.
